Kits for Kids

Each Active Discovery kit includes an athletic toy plus another cool thing to learn and do, and a bilingual Activity Book to help you use it all.

Get Our Kits

How does it work?

  1. We make or buy cool equipment or toys to get kids active.
  2. We find companies that have stuff that kids might love (cooking, computer coding, music, etc).
  3. We create a bilingual Activity book that has fun things to do with all of the things above.
  4. We put it all together and get it into the kids’ hands through great people who work with these kids every day.
  5. We change it up every quarter so kids get 4 kits a year.

The soccer balls that came in the kits this summer were awesome and the kids loved them.
Soccer is a HUGE deal at our Club. The soccer balls that came in the kits this summer were awesome and the kids loved them. Even though soccer is popular, many of the kids here don't own their own soccer ball so having one in their bag for them to keep was amazing. That will always be the first soccer ball they got to call their own and it came from you guys!

Before long the mom walked back to school with a wagon and told us that everyone in the neighborhood wanted a box!
On the day the Active Discovery Kits were given out, one family went home and started playing with the items in it and the Activity Book, and before long the mom walked back to school with a wagon and told us that everyone in the neighborhood wanted a box --would it be possible? Of course we sent her on her way with a wagon full of boxes.

They were happy and super tired afterwards.
Wow the kids loved the Art & Agility kits. I wasn’t sure how the full range of ages would respond to the Pointillism education and projects, but 15 minutes into the first session - they were into it! Everyone was quietly working - it was almost magical seeing them escape into art and be so peaceful. Their finished pictures were amazing too! The agility grids were cool - we played sprinting Tic Tac Toe, and then did lots of different movement patterns - everyone was happy and super tired afterwards. Thank you for coming up with such great kits. The staff and the kids look forward to them. Boys & Girls Club, After School Development Director

The bilingual Active Discovery Kits were a big hit!

Love these kits!
These kits can be used over and over again, encouraging regular activity. It was certainly eye opening for many children because it provided an opportunity and access to something new for them.

Active Discovery Kits

Our Active Discovery Kits are designed to nudge kids to a level of activity that improves their capacity for learning and opens their eyes to possibilities they never imagined.

When many of us were kids our parents gave us a chance to find an activity we liked. We tried multiple sports, musical instruments, scouts, trying to find something that clicked. Our Active Discovery kits are designed to give financially vulnerable kids a window into a variety of activities they might otherwise never see, and every kit includes both activity equipment and an Activity Book. Whether it is Soccer, Cooking, Coding, or Music, our products give financially vulnerable kids a chance to find a passion. We team up with kids and their families, Title 1 schools, YMCAs, and other partner-providers to help financially vulnerable kids THRIVE...not just survive.

We believe that we can help level the playing field by giving financially vulnerable kids and their families opportunities (through our products) they don’t currently have, and this can lead them to grow in how they see their future and give them a pathway to progress regardless of their current circumstances.

We strive to make our experiences as accessible as possible, and that’s why all of our written products are bilingual, increasing the opportunity for parents and kids to work together.

We believe there are amazing programs, people and organizations dedicated to helping financially vulnerable kids, which provide nearly endless opportunities for partnering with Active Discovery, because with our products and their face-to-face work, we create SYNERGY in helping these children THRIVE.

Active Discovery develops products and curriculum that foster increased activity and launch new opportunities for children in tough circumstances.
